In a cave with stone walls covered with Purple Crystal, a Yao Ding is placed in the center. The golden flames inside are rising continuously, tempering a purple elixir the size of a dragon's eye. As time goes by, As time passed, a faint medicinal fragrance began to spread. As the medicinal fragrance became stronger and stronger, the energy fluctuations in Yao Ding became more and more violent, even causing the surrounding Illusory Gold Flame to continuously oscillate.

The cauldron is about to explode... Yao Yan felt the increasingly violent energy in Chudan, and he knew that he had failed again this time.

"Brush~"

Yao Yan decisively cut off the process of condensing the pill and took out the young pill that was about to explode. As it was separated from the flames, the violent energy inside the young pill gradually calmed down and no longer exploded due to forced fusion, and it was in a relatively stable state.

He looked at the failed fusion of the young pill in front of him, and casually placed it on the tray on one side. There were already three failed pieces of different sizes on it.

If you include the two that exploded before, Yao Yan failed five times.

However, these five times were not fruitless. The next three times the refining failed, each one became darker in color and stronger in medicinal fragrance. It was obvious that it was not far from its most perfect formula.

Transforming the recipe is a process of constant trial and error.

Since Yao Yan dared to do this, he was already prepared for failure. As for the wasted medicinal materials, he Storage Ring did not lack the basic medicinal materials for refining the fifth grade Elk Essence Stabilizing Pill, which was enough for him to squander at will. This was also the benefit of becoming a disciple of Hun Xuzi. There was no need to worry about the medicinal materials for practicing.

In addition to the powerful Soul Perception, an alchemist needs to continuously accumulate experience in alchemy. No alchemist can achieve this overnight.

"It should be almost done this time."

Yao Yan looked at the remaining five bottles of Amethyst Crystal Source and thought to himself.

A bottle of Amethyst Crystal Source can be refined two to three times. The five failed attempts were also to find the most suitable point. He had a hunch that the next time it would be perfect.

He swallowed two Qi Recovery Pill, closed his eyes to recover for a while, and then slowly opened his eyes until he reached his peak. At the same time, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the next alchemy. He waved his hand and took out a portion of the medicinal materials for refining the fifth-grade Elk Essence Stabilizing Pill. He poured them into Yao Ding and began to extract Medicinal Liquid Essence.

As time went by, Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King's mood gradually became a little irritable. If it could not feel the increasingly strong fragrance of the medicine in the cave, it might have rushed in and asked Yao Yan what it was doing. It had been nearly half a month and it hadn't finished refining the elixir. Could it be that it was playing tricks on it.

Cai Die, who was looking at Ling Er, noticed Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King's impatience, and said to reassure him, "Lion King, there is no need to be impatient. Since the young master promised you, he will definitely not deceive you."

Based on her understanding of Yao Yan, if Yao Yan really wanted to deceive Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, he would never come to the other party's cave to refine the elixir, let alone leave the matter of finding the items to the other party. These all represent Yao Yan's sincerity. Obviously Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King is not aware of this.

"It better be so!"

Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King snorted coldly and scratched the ground with a thick claw, venting his inner impatience and uneasiness.

"Brush~"

At this moment, a silver stream of light passed by in the sky, and a moment later, a fifth-level Thunder Flame Mad Lion appeared in the valley. It was smaller than Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, with purple-red scales all over its body, and lightning flashing from time to time.

As soon as it appeared, it called out to Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, and at the same time glanced at Cai Die with its scarlet eyes. The hostility in its eyes was obvious, because it was also one of the spectators in the battle half a month ago, and it was the Snake-Woman in front of it who severely injured their king.

"The human cave he was looking for has been found. You can go."

Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King glanced at Cai Die and made a low voice.

Cai Die's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about playing with Ling Er. He held it in his arms, restricted its movements with the soft thing, and said to Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, "Then I'll leave it to Lion King, young master."

Yao Yan had informed Cai Die in advance of what he wanted to get, but he had not explained the function of that Fragmented Map, nor had he explained why he knew about this cave. Cai Die did not ask more questions about this. She was sensible and would not disturb him while Yao Yan was refining alchemy.

"Don't worry, until he refines the elixir that this king needs, it will be difficult for him to die!"

Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King snorted in a bad tone.

"Then Lion King, you can look forward to it. Young Master is the most powerful alchemist I have ever seen!"

Cai Die responded with a look of confidence on her face. Then Dou Qi Wings condensed on her back and turned into a stream of light rising into the sky. Thunder Flame Mad Lion glanced at Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, then led the way for Cai Die and flew towards the northwest of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King watched them leave and continued to stare at the cave. It only cared about the success or failure of the elixir now. As for other things, it had no intention to pay attention to it.

Time passed slowly, and several hours flew by.

This time Yao Yan was tempering faster. Thanks to the previous attempts, he is now more and more comfortable. Even the process of Pill Fusion is smoother than the previous times. He did not encounter any obstacles during the process. A fist-sized young pill came into view. It showed colorful colors and was made from the essence of hundreds of medicinal materials.

The current stage is only the most basic stage, the next step is the key.

Yao Yan glanced at Amethyst Crystal Source beside him, controlled a bottle to fly up with Soul Power, and poured out most of the bottle. Under the control of Soul Power, the purple liquid passed through the golden Illusory Gold Flame, like a cooling mountain spring, poured on the hot young pill. With a burst of Purple Cloud Mist rising in the flames, the young pill began to shrink. Various medicinal liquids in it began to merge with each other, and a violent energy began to condense.

Feeling this violent energy, Yao Yan looked calm, formed seals with both hands, and the Soul Power gushing from the center of his eyebrows turned into a big hand, directly grasping the purple elixir in Illusory Gold Flame, and the threads of Soul Power spread to the entire elixir, and began to pull the energy fusion within it.

What he needs to do now is to quickly stabilize the energy of this elixir, and this requires being extremely familiar with the spirituality of various medicinal materials so that they can fit together in the most perfect manner.

Just like playing a complex Luban Lock, the alchemist needs to perfectly combine the medicinal properties of each medicinal material to make it a perfect whole. No more than one bit is enough, so that the elixir refined in this way can achieve the most perfect quality.

Although Hun Xuzi is not a qualified teacher, he is extremely perfect as an alchemist. Especially in the process of refining elixirs, the requirements are very demanding. As his disciple, Yao Yan naturally inherited Hun Xuzi's standards in this regard. He does not allow himself to relax in the slightest, and strives to be perfect in every step!

"Buzz~"

As the elixir shrunk to the size of a longan, a purple halo enveloped the elixir, and the rich purple scent of the elixir instantly filled the air, spreading out in all directions like bursts of mist.

At this moment, Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, who was lying outside the cave, stood up. It could clearly feel the strong fragrance of this medicine, which was stronger than any before. It could even feel that Origin Amethyst Flame in its body was about to move, and it had the illusion that it could be upgraded by swallowing this thing!

"Ouch~"

Like a puppy, Little Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King raised its head and barked, with a strong look of longing in its eyes, which came from the desire of the body.

"Is it done?!"

Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King glanced at his child and stared into the cave full of hope.

"Boom!"

At this moment, strong energy fluctuations suddenly came from the cave, just like the previous explosion of a cauldron. Along with a thunderous sound, the violent energy fluctuations surged out from it, instantly dissipating the permeating purple medicinal fragrance.

Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King's expression froze, his bright animal eyes instantly dimmed, and he couldn't help but grind his back molars.

Failed again?!

Almost at the same time it was disappointed, a figure slowly walked out of the cave. The figure that disgusted it had a faint smile, raised its hand, shook the medicine bottle, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, it has fulfilled its mission, it's done~"

At this moment, Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King suddenly felt that Yao Yan was so pleasing to the eye, and even wanted to pounce on him and lick him twice!
